Under Con-struction

   Posted by: Con in Last Stand, News, Sin Mark, Warfare

Man, I let this one slip. So as those of you who have stumbled upon this site (and you did stumble because the URL hasn’t been posted anywhere), you’ve probably noted the lack of attention to content, news posts and the like. To be honest, I got all worked up about setting the site up then by the end of that few days it was time for me to get back to work on my latest game. Which brings me to…

Sin Mark - My latest creation, is an action RPG’ish bow game. I’m looking at it as my little tribute to the action RPG and MMO genre, Diablo, WoW, Titan Quest etc. It was born out of an idea from Dan at Armor which was to put it simply “a bow game”. I played with a few different ideas at first and I’ll post an evolution of it here once I’m done, but it slowly grew from being a basic defence game into a rampaging action game with tonnes more content that initially intended. It’s been in the works for just shy of 3 months and will be out some time this week early in the New Year on Armor Games.

While we’re here - I get bombarded every day with PM’s and emails from people asking about Warfare and Last Stand, so let’s clear some things up.

Warfare - Will be a series, I’m currently planning the first sequel. It’ll be set in a different time period. It will be the next project I work on once Sin Mark is out.

Last Stand - Last Stand 3 won’t be like the previous 2, at all. Everything you know and love will carry over, it’ll just be very very different. The whole barricade shooting outward thing is just a bit tired, it’s time to break free.

So keep an eye out for Sin Mark in the next week, I’ll get it up here as well as a game guide as soon as I can.

Hey ConArtist

I hope you don’t mind but I found this website last night and I have posted it on ArmorGames and told all my friends. :) or :(

Anyway keep up the good work this Sin Mark sounds awesome, and by the way, could you in any way elaborate more on what is going to be different in Last Stand 3.

I know you get swamped I just really want to know! Thanks so much and keep up the awesome work that keeps us proud!

P.S Do you have a 360 because it would be so cool if I could play with you!

yeah sin mark sounds pretty good but every single person in my school (who has played it) loves last stand and we havebeen waiting for last stand 3 for a pretty long while so after sin mark you should seriously think about last stand 3

Thank you so much for bringing the world of last stand into our lives :).
The only thing i would enjoy more would be a little bit of the back story, kinda of like the leading up to the zombie invasion and the Hero’s journey to the setting of the first last stand.

Keep up the great work!

Last Stand 3 man, thats what i am waiting for. You should keep the barricade i think. Make both things. At night behind the barricade killings hordes of zombies (make a LOT of zobies coming at night) and at daylight make him walking, wandering, searching and killing zombies (less that daylight but still many). That way the game will be longer and better i think. And DO NOT MAKE IT A 3D, NEVER A 3D. it’s A LOT BETTER as it is. Good luck with all your projects in the future, i will keep visiting your page again and again for news.

He is making Sin Mark first, then Warfare 2, and then The Last Stand 3 so maybe 1 year, 3 years top.

Ranger has the idea. Sin Mark will be out within the week.

I’ll then be starting on the Warfare sequel, which should only be 2 months or so to build, then I’ll be beginning the third Last Stand by March/April.

Two Things

1st. I noticed that on the side of the webpage there is a Last Stand reference. but there is a British Flag pinned on it. Is this a hint for Last Stand 3?

2nd. Under that there is small writing, no matter what I try I can’t read it, what does it say?

Thanks
Written from my PSP!!!

Hi, I love the Sin Mark game, trully great! Would you, by any chance, make a version for other sites? From what I see, this version is playable only on Armorgames.

Best regards

Its because with Armorgames you get extra stuff for the game, plus he works there so he has to.

Hi, I love your work but, first of all I played Sin Mark I thought it was too hard and when a monster or [whatever] comes and attacks you I can’t get him off me. Second of all, I think you should stay with the barrier on Last stand 3. I mean what’s gonna happen one or those shoot out of a window things.
I don’t like those typs of games.
P.S I would like it if you could hire guys.

January 8th, 2009 at 12:49 pm
Francis

Hi, i’m back, anyways I would like it if you could hire guys [like I said before]. Oh and sorry about what I said before I was kind of tired and mad and I didn’t realize how much you put into that game. What you decide to put in the last stand three is good for me. So back to what I was saying before, it be cool if you could hire guys, like buying them. It would be nice if you put some money into the game. I havn’t seen that yet. I hope it’s different like you said before.
Again I’m sorry. it was harsh.

See the thing is The Last Stand is all about surviving, so I am pretty sure anyone would rather be in a group for free then demand getting paid.

Good point ranger250, but I mean what if the last of the zombies were dying, and everyone knew they could just lie back. After, they find out someone has a plan to rule the world with the zombies and keep ‘em coming. It woud be sooooo awsome if he made another and it would be a MMORPG were you could hire people, you would be in a house with three typs of view like first person at the first floor, one like hungry are the dead on the second, over head on the top, and you could go outside and fight. I have other ideas but I do not want to type them now.

P.S. I live in the USA so our time difference is very [ha ha] different. And were i am it is 12:55 am, I woke up late, and need to take a shower. I’ll be back later.

January 11th, 2009 at 4:55 am
Ranger250
 21 

Um, I live in USA too, and in your timezone so there is no time difference.

Plus your plan sounds cool by the way, but the original Last Stand (1,2) type of fighting is still my favorite

January 11th, 2009 at 5:58 am
Francis
 22 

That’s cool but I was talking about everyone and that’s a 1 out of 100 chance, weird. Well I’m guesing you live in new york city. Well…………..Anyway another idea I have is you can travel and buy cars,and other vehicles. When your driving zombies come at you and your teamates will shoot them or you will. In the begining you’ll have a choice of having a house or wandering the streets hoping someone will hire you, but the advantage, MORE MONEY!!!! And you can chose were you want to be in the world like google earth. And chat with friends [if made] it would be better than world of warcraft!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I really hope someone makes it. Maybe [if I realy concentrate on it] I will. but i doubt that. I just hope someone makes it maybe Con- his first MMO that would be cool!

January 11th, 2009 at 6:49 am

 23 

So after talking about Last stand 3 forever. Let’s talk about Warfare. I know exactly why Con made World War I first. So he could do Wourld War II next. Then Korea, Vietnaum, First Gulf War, second, and then maybe the future…………But Con’s not really like the first Warfare took the words out of my mouth. Everything I wanted in a stradegy game. EVERYTHING. But I don’t have any ideas for the next one.

January 11th, 2009 at 7:03 am

Sorry, that was hard to read. I meant, “Con isn’t really like that.” then the rest.

Yeah WW2 would be awesome.

That would be cool for flamethrower units and shotgun troops.

By the way Con must be checking these posts, I hope he responds.

P.S nope not New York

boston? New Jersey? delaware. Rhode island? It would be a 1 of 1000 chance if you were from New Jersey. Anyway I hope Con makes another series that would also be cool but that’s on the last of his schedule. It must be so cool to have con reply to you what was that like?

I assume you are working on the new Warfare game. I have to tell you man, if you want it to feel real as possible (because from the first on that’s what I understand you are trying to do) you have to fix a lot of things. There are times in the game especially in the last battle where crazy and STUPID things happen. For example I had about 4-5 units with a sniper and a tank just before the last trench, the enemy had one (1) guy with a machine gun inside the trench and we where fighting almost 2 minutes (a little less) and nothing happens. And suddenly new troops came kill all of my guys, blow away my tank with bombs in some seconds and I lost. We are talking for a divine intervention here not for a superior enemy strategy. That was so STUPID I just wanted to break my pc. Oh and things like that happen a lot of times during the campaign especially in the last battles just not always so extreme. I know you want to make it difficult, I want the same thing, but maybe you have to find another way for that. It is a very good game and it can be 100 times better. Good luck.

Cool, Francis thats cool!

Anyway having Con respond to you is awesome and it feels great.

If he was to make a new series what do you think it should be about?

However for me, before he makes a new series I really want to play The Last Stand 3 and Warfare 2. How about you?

WOW, WOW, questions, questions. You seem to be a bit too, exited, you could of just asked me if I wanted to be your ifriend [i think that's what it's called]. and it sounds like you had 1000 cans of red bull. Well I was thinking there could be one game made by Con were you were a S.W.A.T officer and there would be alot of different weapons and levels. And yes I would probably want to play those games first. Oh and do you have an acount on mofunzone, what is it?

P.S. do you live in any of those locations? You didn’t answer.

P.S.S. you should play stick arena on Xgenstudios.com we can play against each other and chat.

Sorry about that guys.

Anyway if you could put one unit in for Warfare 2.

I would put in a flamethrower unit. He is really good against trenches, however if he sometimes takes too much damage…Ka Boom…

I think last stand 3 should still have stuff like barricades. Like your in a third person shooter mode, and you set your barricade anywhere you want. I also think you should be able to find more survivors like 9 or 10 and they help you more then they do in last stand 2 and last stand 1.

January 14th, 2009 at 10:44 am

Hey about the last stand 3 what about making it a download you could do any thing 3d multi level boss battles free roam just better then the last two i though of some things and on a discoushing on kongregate some one thought of a begining to it. i want to help be like a story writer but i dont think you would want a kid helping………
anyway i got some great ideas and want to help the download idea seems good to me…… gives you more options in my opinion

January 26th, 2009 at 9:00 am
right
 44 

Well it would probably be good to roam around but Bosses is out of the question. Maybe for his 4th sequel [if he makes one] it would be a download but for the third I don’t think so. See it takes a lot of work to make a download. Do you really want to wait a year? With a flash [if it's good] it would take 3 to 5 months.

January 26th, 2009 at 10:53 am
Francis
 45 

wait why did that happen? Sorry that was me Francis.

January 26th, 2009 at 10:55 am
 46 

well i was just saying …………..
anyway i thought about it and he could make a mix of all 3 as a download and give it better everything but yea a flash is good it is shorter

January 26th, 2009 at 11:58 am
Francis
 47 

Well that’s an idea! but it would turn out ugly like mixing corn with tomados. Just wouldn’t work out. It still could happen :).

ok con id like to email you with this but

have you ever thought about puting the last stand on xbox live if you did you can make
1 and 2 for free and when you make 3 you can make it like 500 microsoft points and you can talk to them i know….i had seen a game from the net and i saw it on the live maket place………

now i am a complete novice at making browser based games and well ithought that
if you give them the “data” they put it on the market place and then when you download it it become like the site the game loads off of when you play it on the net.

please email me with a reply at ewet8@yahoo.ca

February 11th, 2009 at 6:27 pm
Paul
 66 

yo con last stand is a great game if it were me i’d say it so great it’s too great, aspeacialy since you think the barricade being gone is wasome but, dead makis has a good idead keep the barricade at night and have the same where to search menue but instead of waiting for it to load and go to another night it’s a good idea to play in the search, like play a scene were you get out of the car and shoot zombies in like a 3rd person shooter, then go for the car again and back home to where the barricade is,that would be a pretty good piece to make the game harder and longer, that’s what (from how i’ve heard people) they want in a game ALL parts, but still whatever you make will probably be REALLY good evolving from the first two games

February 12th, 2009 at 8:34 am

 67 

The 3rd game should feature a XRGL40 6-shot grenade launcher, Glock 18 select-fire pistol, flamethrower, minigun and the AA-12 auto shotgun. Also it should include support options (helicopter strike, artillery and more). Plus bosses, like mutants, zombie-like monsters and zombies with better weapons.

ummm f has a good idea about the guns in the game don’t know if there gonna be so high tech weapons but definitly put in some new stronger and faster shooting more tacticle weapons (by tacticle i mean like faster reload faster shotsa ringing out too)
but uh that’s up to you stil keep the good stuff in ,and keep the good work up lol later, oh yea and take you time please that will make the game turn out way better because finishing the game as fast as you can harms the fact that you could think of things to put in as you go
